This includes all manner of percussion and woodwinds, as well as such exotica as harmonica, bass accordion and washtub, instruments “reviled by society at large”, in Saylor’s words. To the nonsense text he brings a riot of colour and wit as well as a series of traditional devices such as refrains, sea shanties, and a chorale. The result is music of vibrancy, excitement, and even dangerous volatility. The three silent film scores are pacey, dapper and splendidly jazzy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Fit the First: The Landing 00:12:55 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Fit the Second: The Bellman's Speech 00:05:27 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Fit the Third: The Baker's Tale 00:11:53 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Fit the Fourth: The Hunting 00:02:46 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Fit the Fifth: The Beaver's Lesson 00:05:20 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Fit the Sixth: Brief Snarkestral Outburst I 00:00:18 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Fit the Seventh: Brief Snarkestral Outburst II 00:00:36 \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Fit the Eighth: The Vanishing 00:06:56 \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Stolen Goods 00:09:03 \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Publicity Pays 00:09:54 \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Too Many Mammas 00:08:49\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Snark Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40556585975879,"sku":"16007499","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1890472.jpg?v=1747355947","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/saylor-cantate-chamber-singers-becker-hunting-of-the-snark-agony-in-eight-fits","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
